Evohome Hot Water Question

I recently moved from a house that had zoned heating (2 heat 1 water) to a house that doesn't.
I am thinking about installing the Honeywell EVO home system. My condensing gas boiler heats the rads and hot water tank on one circuit as far as I know. I don't have any thermostat other than the TRV's but I do have the old fashioned dial timer to switch on and off the boiler.
I find that the old TRVs don't seem to work very well and I reallly like the idea of having better (and remote) control of the rads in each room.
The other major benefit that I am trying to achieve without a major replumb is to heat just the water during the summer. I know that I can just turn the TRVs off but the increased flexibility of the remote access and being able to also heat just one room, in the summer for example, appeals to me.
Since my hot water tank seems to be on the same circuit as my rads, what would I need to order for an optimal Evohome setup? My rads already have TRVs so I'd be happy to swap those myself. I'd also be happy to do wire the system up myself.
Would it be beneficial or even possible to have a motorised valve installed in the hotpress to just heat water and introduce a 'boost' function (using ifttt)?
Thanks in advane for your help.
